LW3128-K100-A

The LW3128-K100-A is a rocker switch, a type of manual switch intended for on/off control. It is usually found in wall switches, where it can be used to control lights, fans, or other household devices. The switch consists of a flat plastic or metal rocker mounted on a base, and two actuating blades that are connected to a pair of electrical contacts. When the rocker is pressed in one direction, the actuating blades will close the contacts and make the circuit, while pressing the rocker in the other direction will open the contacts and break the connection.

The LW3128-K100-A is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch, and is available in either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations. In an NO configuration, the switch will be open when the rocker is in the off position, and will close when the rocker is in the on position. In an NC configuration, the switch will be closed when the rocker is in the off position, and open when the rocker is in the on position.

The LW3128-K100-A is rated for 3A/240VAC, 1/2HP 125VAC & 7.5A/280VAC. It is UL certified and CSA approved, making it suitable for applications such as wall switches, lighting controls, pumps, motors, and other electrical or industrial applications. The switch head itself features a black rocker with white symbols, making it easy to identify in low light situations. The flat mounting facility allows for easy installation, either directly to the wall with two screws or on a mounting plate.

To operate the switch, the user simply presses the rocker in the desired direction. The rocker is designed to snap firmly into the actuating blade and secure the contacts in either the open or closed position. Depending on the configuration, pressing the rocker in the other direction will open or close the contacts, allowing for on/off control. The actuating blades are rugged and durable, and can handle up to 3A/240VAC in a single switch. The switch also features a snap-in button cover to ensure the switch remains firmly in the on or off position.

In conclusion, the LW3128-K100-A is a rocker switch with multiple applications, such as wall switches, lighting controls, pumps, and motors. It is UL certified and CSA approved and features a black rocker with white symbols. The flat mounting facility allows for easy installation, and the rugged and durable actuating blades can handle up to 3A/240VAC. The switch also features a snap-in button cover to ensure the switch remains firmly in the on or off position.
